LETTER: Why can't people use trash cans right there?

Yes, cheers to Grant Thompson, who organized a downtown cleanup effort in advance of Rivers and Spires. A friend and I were walking around - toward the end of Rivers and Spires Saturday night - and, even though trash containers were located all along the streets, there was trash everywhere.

What a shame that people can come and take advantage of a great festival but can't manage to use the trash cans right there before them. Napkins, paper cups, and countless other items were underfoot and blowing along the streets.

I can imagine tears might be on the faces of Grant Thompson and friends, who worked long and hard to make our city presentable. This Rivers and Spires was one of the best. What a shame.
